This gorgeous survey of art from the Islamic world covers three continents and fourteen centuries.


From its birth in the seventh century through modern times, the Islamic religion has inspired glorious works of art. This stunning book includes more than four hundred reproductions of treasures of Islamic art that span the world: from southern Europe, along the entire Mediterranean basin to sub-Saharan Africa through the Middle East, India, and Central Asia. Arranged geographically, the objects include paintings, miniatures, ceramics, calligraphy, textiles, carpets, and metal works. Each region is given a thorough introduction that offers historical context and extensive descriptions of its artifacts. Accompanying essays offer guidance in interpreting the many themes that tie these works together, including typology, calligraphy, and religious beliefs. Despite its wide-ranging history and origins, Islamic art is unified by its devotion to faith and beauty. With its large format, exquisite reproductions, and extensive research, this book is a thorough introduction to the Islamic artistic tradition.

Very beautiful book with outstanding photos and text. As a great admirer of Islamic Art, I use this book to read about places I have been and those I intend to visit so I can understand what I am looking at and learn about those who built these masterpieces so long ago. It is an exquisite ART book, not a tourist guide. An exquisite book to be treasured.

I bought this as a present, but am now wondering if I should have kept it. Crisp, well defined images. Informative text (certainly more than a coffee table book). Made me long to experience Islamic culture face to face.
